Geometry0D.AverageLocalReferenceFrame

Description

Get the average normal of given 0D Component

Scripting Syntax

Geometry0D.AverageLocalReferenceFrame( compIdxArray, XAxis, XAxisValid, YAxis, YAxisValid, ZAxis, ZAxisValid );

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
compIdxArray Array of Integer values An array of indices of 0D Component

Possible Values:

Description:

0 Each index in the array must be valid
XAxis SIVector3 Upon return, contains the X axis of the average local reference frame of the given 0D Component
XAxisValid Boolean Upon return, contains TRUE if the X axis of the reference frame is valid, else FALSE
YAxis SIVector3 Upon return, contains the Y axis of the average local reference frame of the given 0D Component
YAxisValid Boolean Upon return, contains TRUE if the Y axis of the reference frame is valid, else FALSE
ZAxis SIVector3 Upon return, contains the Z axis of the average local reference frame of the given 0D Component
ZAxisValid Boolean Upon return, contains TRUE if the Z axis of the reference frame is valid, else FALSE

VBScript Example

'Create a cube
